ERinfo – Using facial recognition to keep you safe in emergencies
I am a big believer in medical ID. I wear one almost all the time. I have a few MyID Condition Sleeves on my Apple Watch bands and I love them.
But I also learned about another interesting approach that I want to tell you about. I’d love to hear what you think of it. I’m also curious if there are any first responders out there who have heard of this or might use it.

One missing cracker makes a lot of difference
I got excited when I saw these!
Delicious Club Crackers! I love them. But I struggle to limit how many I eat in one sitting. They are so good – it’s easy to eat a lot of them. I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit that I can easily enjoy a whole sleeve of club crackers in a bowl of soup unless I put countermeasures in place. And I’m talking about the regular full-size sleeve of crackers, not the little Snack Stacks pictured here.
When I talk about putting countermeasures in place, Snack Stacks are (almost) a great example. Instead of depending on my self-control to limit how many crackers I e...

Fighting Diabetes Fatigue with Gems from the Journey on diaTribe.org
I’m approaching my 41st diaversary, or diabetes diagnosis anniversary. I’m doing well and have tried my best to take care of myself. But in my mid-twenties I began to wrestle with diabetes fatigue. Maybe you have, too? I’ve come to think of diabetes fatigue as a normal part of living with diabetes and I’d like to talk more about it. I want to share some of the things I’ve learned in the hopes that they’ll help you, too. R...

The Candy in My Pocket with John Robert Wiltgen
I had a chance to catch up with John Robert Wiltgen, the fascinating international award-winning JRW Design founder. I’m enjoying his recent blog posts and stories and want to spread the word in case you might enjoy them too.
John was diagnosed with diabetes at 8 years old. He’s lived with diabetes for more than 53 years now and has faced many challenges. I enjoy his positive attitude and how he continues to charge forth and do what he loves. Over the course of his life, he built an incredible design business. He’s won more than 40 major design awards, and his work has brought him from Chicago̵...

Why is my hand so sticky?
Skin Tac & TacAway
Skin Tac is an adhesive barrier that helps keep things stuck to your skin. I’ve been a fan for a long time. It does a great job adding some extra stick to the adhesive on my CGM sensor.
It comes in in a bottle of liquid with a spongy applicator or in individual wipes. I usually use the bottled liquid, but the wipes are nice for traveling or emergency backup.
The opposite is also available. TacAway. For when you need to unstick what you’ve stuck. I don’t need TacAway often, but when I do, I appreciate how neatly it cleans up the mess. Skin Tac doesn’t just wash away with soap and wa...

He was the best I could ask for
Dad passed away about a month and a half ago. I’ve been struggling to write this ever since. Many of you knew dad, at least in a way, but probably didn’t realize it. I’ll talk more about that soon.
He was 70 and fighting liver disease. He responded well to treatment for a while. But after a few bumps in the road, he didn’t bounce back the way anyone hoped, and his quality of life suffered. Another turn for the worse, and it went downhill quickly after that. Of course, we miss him terribly. But if it’s going to happen, quickly is best. He was at peace letting go, and so were we. My sister an...

#ScottsDeathRide 💀🚴♂️ – I rode 103.3 miles through Death Valley!
I DID IT! 103.3 Miles through Death Valley, CA!
Death Valley veterans said the weather this year was the best they’d ever seen. Moderate temperatures. Not much wind. We even had cloud cover for a while. If there was any day to ride Death Valley, this was it.
And even on the best day ever to ride Death Valley, it was still so hard. I thought about quitting many times.
But I kept thinking about all those evening and weekend hours I spent away from my family doing training rides, and how I suffered trying to keep up with the group or hit a mileage goal.
So I kept pushing. And pushing. And pushing.
8:31 hours later,...
